Sorry, but I've been interested in the subject for years and read widely in the field. As Fox Moulder's office wall poster states "I want to believe". But I can't. Yes, there are a very few cases that have no obvious causes, but even those do not present enough evidence to prove paranormal phenomena.

There will never be "proof" in the normal sense because it operates outside the paradigm of conventional science. If you've read widely you should be aware that there can never be a separation of the subject and the observer (get out of here, you bloody cat!!) in this field: as a simple example, if the "scientist" doesn't believe it's possible to get the result, then he won't! -- the "universe" is very compliant and adjusts to fit the "needs" of the observer, so to speak ...
